SISTER GERTRUDE ROSS, FORMER BLACK WOMEN CONNECT MEMBER PASSES AWAY LAST NIGHT

SISTER GERTRUDE ROSS, FORMER BLACK WOMEN CONNECT MEMBER PASSES AWAY LAST NIGHT

I recieved an email last night from a dear friend informing that Sister Gertrude Ross had passed away at her home in Seattle. The email was sent to me at 10:15 pm Monday. They said the cause of death has not yet been determined.

Sister Gertrude was a former Black Women Connect and BlackInAmerica.com member and a very gifted sister. My heartfelt thoughts go out to her family and all of those who loved her. May Allah be pleased with her.

Peace Queen, are we talking about the same Sis. Gertrude Ross who is the host of her blog talk radio program?

Yes it is

Although I didn't know her, please accept my faithful thoughts of love in her passing.
With purest sympathy.

Gertrude's sister Cheryl asked me to share the following with you all:

Hello,

My name is Cheryl Ross and I am the sister of the late Gertrude Ross. Gertrude departed this life on Monday, June 3, 2013 at the age of 45 years. To all of you paying your respects to my late sister I thank you on her behalf. Funeral services will be private (as requested) and I am currently in the process of getting my sister's affairs together. This will be a difficult time for her family in her Seattle, Washington area and beyond.

My sister Gertrude loved you all and her spirit demonstrated that love. Keep my sister in your prayers and continue to remember her as you know best. She will be missed by all. We love you Sis!

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" ~ 2 Timothy 4:7

Yours Truly,

Cheryl

Only Allah knows why our sister left us so soon. May she rest in peace.
